Notes:

PaulsRobot is designed mostly for individuals to act as their own session supervisor, unless there is a professional available who is trained specifically in this stuff. It is usually a bad idea to decide mid-session on a new session plan for the ongoing session. End the session first, take a breather, then work out what to do in the next session.

Here are some sample session plans. You don't have to stick to these, but it might be advisable, at least to begin with. You don't have to do them in the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4. If you want, you can do sessions using 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, or whichever seems appropriate at the time.

Example session plan #1
1. Ensure you're ready for the session, with enough food, sleep, not under the influence, and enough time available in a location where you won't get disturbed by the kids, pets, telephone etc.

2. Follow the instructions exactly as given, especially including the "Rub" part of Rub & Yawn, and end off the session at a good point per the Common: Session End Point page.

3. Determine what topic you should be addressing using that option in the Core module you will see right after the session start. The topic in this case won't really be optional--it will be what you most need to address in the session. It will vary from individual to individual and be intensely personal to YOU. You'll know it when you see it, so to speak.

Example session plan #2
[Points 1 and 2 of the first session plan above are understood to apply to each session plan that you do]

3. Continue with the same topic as the previous session and see if there is more on it. If not, pick a new topic using the same procedure as in session plan #1.

Notes (continued):

Example session plan #3
[Points 1 and 2 of the first session plan above are understood to apply to each session plan that you do] 3. Use for a topic that thing your attention is fixated on right now, namely _____.

Example session plan #4
[Points 1 and 2 of the first session plan above are understood to apply to each session plan that you do]

3. Now that the hot topics seem to be mostly cooled off for now, let's try a topic that I've always wanted to have a go at but didn't know how to approach. Namely, _____.

4. If nothing much on the topic in 3 right above, try _____.

5. If nothing much on the topic in 4 right above, try _____.

6. If nothing much on the topic in 5 right above, try _____.

7. If nothing much on the topic in 6 right above, try _____.

8. If nothing much on the topic in 7 right above, try _____.

9. If nothing much on the topic in 8 right above, try _____.

10. If nothing much on any of them, end session and get more information somehow!

Example session plan #5
[Points 1 and 2 of the first session plan above are understood to apply to each session plan that you do]

3. Follow the instructions in the troubleshooting section. Do the out-of-session steps first; then if needed the first type of session; then if needed the second type of session.
